Subject: BUG #16913: GENERATED AS IDENTITY column nullability is affected by order of column properties
Date: Thu, 04 Mar 2021 04:13:59 +0000
Message-ID: <16913-3b5198410f67d8c6@postgresql.org> (raw)

The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference:      16913
Logged by:          Pavel Boev
Email address:      pavel.boev@invitae.com
PostgreSQL version: 13.2
Operating system:   Debian 8.3.0-6
Description:        

I noticed that nullability of columns having GENERATED AS IDENTITY option is
affected by the order of NULL option, so the next query will create a
"my_table" table having non-nullable column "generated":

create table my_table (
  generated integer null generated by default as identity,
  data text not null
);

Whereas the following query will create a "my_table" table having nullable
column "generated":

create table my_table (
  generated integer generated by default as identity null,
  data text not null
);

I noticed the issue appeared in postgres 13.2, however folks say that they
bug affects versions 10, 11 and 12 as well.
